Yakubu open to big move
Yakubu Aiyegbeni concedes he could leave Middlesbrough, if he is
offered the chance to join a bigger club.
The Nigerian striker has been tipped to follow Mark Viduka out of
the Riverside and has been linked with former club
Portsmouth.
Boro chief executive Keith Lamb has stressed the powerful forward
will not be joining his old strike partner in quitting the
club.
Currently on international duty, Yakubu was keen to state his
happiness with Boro and that he has not demanded a summer
move.
However, he acknowledged that it would be hard to turn down a
transfer to a major club before the start of the new season.
"I am happy at Boro and I have never said I wanted to leave,"
Yakubu told KICKOFF magazine.
"I have some fantastic team-mates and the fans are great.
"Boro are one of the big clubs in England, and we have the chance
to challenge the top four and play in Europe every year.
"But in football, you never know, anything can happen.
"If a big club comes with a very big amount of money, anything is
possible."
